[ale] UPS

[kilpatms at gmail.com (Sean Kilpatrick)]

I was away this past weekend.  When we got back Sunday afternoon the UPS 
that protects my box was buzzing. Although the computer and monitor were 
both turned off, the idiot light was blinking to indicate an overload!

Testing indicated that the innards were fried, so replacing the nearly 
dead batteries wasn't going to help.  (The unit was at least six years 
old.)  This is somewhat odd, as no other electronics (all buffered by 
lightweight surge protectors) seem to be damaged: router, switches/hubs, 
printer, stereo, TVs, etc.

So I could use some advice: get another uninterrupted power supply from 
APC or try a different brand?
